Moonbeams for Sweet Dreams

We're back!

We're excited to welcome everybody back to Corewell Health Children’s in Southeast Michigan to once again celebrate Moonbeams for Sweet Dreams. Beginning Monday, December 9 and running through Monday, December 23, we look forward to seeing you in 2024!

Sensory-Friendly Night

On Sunday, December 8, we'll have a special night for families looking for a less stimulating night to enjoy Moonbeams for Sweet Dreams. Our teams are arranging a special sensory table with supplies such as ear plugs, fidgets, sunglasses and more.

This night we’ll have no flashing lights inside or outside, no microphone and our firetruck and police car friends will be parked with lights off.

What is Moonbeams for Sweet Dreams?

This cherished tradition started in 2017 by Corewell Health Children’s in Southeast Michigan (then Beaumont Children’s) nurses and child life specialists as a way of helping our youngest and bravest patients feel connected to their community during the holiday season.

Each December, community members from across Southeast Michigan visit the Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital campus in Royal Oak at approximately 8 p.m. to shine flashlights to remind pediatric patients they aren’t alone and wish them sweet dreams.
